    Subtle purples and pinks

    It’s still a @dovedalecreations day 😁 I’m rather happy with these patchwork hearts 😁 They work well with the subtle colours of the yarn…which I don’t know the name of 🫢 I purchased it from @skein.machine – couldn’t resist 😁 It is so lovely.

    New design 😁 Patchwork Hearts 😁 This pair uses @skein.machine Home Dye ‘Mary’, a colourway that I’m apparently addicted to 😁 The core of this design is to display the lovely colour shifts throughout the yarn. Can’t wait to play with this one using other colourways. Gonna be fun 😁

    New kumihimo design

    More Kumihimo

    Another kumihimo braided using gorgeous hand-dyed cotton from Cottage Garden Threads 😁 I am really inspired by these colours and the fact I have designed a decent pattern to work from and create a bracelet. Whatever the reason, I’m running with it 😁 Liz (Inspiration is fun)
